This is a favorite in my family.

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream--allowed to soften
two 3 oz. packets of instant vanilla pudding
2 cups of milk
60 Ritz crackers
1/2 cup butter--melted

Crush 60 crackers.
Reserve 1/2 cup of cracker crumbs.
Mix melted butter and remaining crumbs.
Press by hand butter/crumb mixture into a glass 13x9 dish.
In a large bowl, blend melted ice cream, dry pudding mix, and milk with mixer.
Pour ice cream mixture over crumb crust.
Sprinkle reserved crumbs over dessert.
Chill 6-8 hours.

Enjoy!

Great recipes! I've never tried dump cake with cherry pie filling, though I have fixed it with pineapple and fresh blueberries when they're in season. Mmm!

Here's one that I originally saw on Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. I've played with it a bit, and my husband asks for it all the time:

SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime, juiced (I use the bottled stuff, but fresh would be better)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 green onion, sliced thin
Dash of garlic powder
Salt
1 pound cooked medium shrimp, tails removed
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, cut into wedges

Mix the honey, soy, lime juice and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Add cucumbers, green onion, and shrimp and toss to coat. Season the salad with salt and garlic powder. Serve shrimp with lettuce, to wrap and crunch on spoonfuls of salad.

And here's my sister in law's best appetizer recipe:

BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

1 lb or so of chicken breast
8 oz blue cheese
2 packages of Philadelphia cream cheese
12 oz Tabasco sauce (you can use less if you’re not into HOT)
1 package (16 oz or so) of shredded cheddar cheese)

Directions:
Bake or better yet, grill the chicken breast
Once the chicken is done, cut (shred the chicken breast) as finely as possible
In a large mixing bowl mix the blue cheese, cream cheese together, ad in the Tabasco sauce and mix well. Then add the shredded chicken again mix well.
Take a good size baking sheet (or a couple of small ones) spray on some Pam, then spread the whole mixture onto the baking sheets. Or baking pans.
Top off with the shredded cheddar and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. (The cheese will start bubbling and browning a bit like a pizza).

Serve with crusty bread or tortilla chips. Frito's Scoops are ideal.

My grandma always made this and called it Cauliflower Salad, but my moms said it's actually called California Salad. It's a nice summer salad that is sweet and tangy at the same time. It makes a huge amount though, just a warning!

Salad itself is:
1 large head Califllower cut up
1 large head Lettace ripped up
1 medium onion chopped up
1 lb bacon cooked til it is crispy, then drained and crumbled up

Dressing is:
Mayo type salad dressing (1/2 bottle)
grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 shaker bottle)
2 cups sugar (you can add more or less depending on your sweet tooth)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegear

Pour dressing over salad about 30 minutes before you serve then store in fridge before serving.

What is really bad, Lipton decided to quite making Beefy Onion Dip dry

Mix.

You could mix it with Sour Cream and use as a Veggie Dip=Radish, Carrot, Broch, Celery, or The White veggie, Califlower. God, it was good!

Got one pack left, maybe I need to sell it on ebay!

What a great take to a party!

I've had this with Broccoli instead of Cauliflower, with half the sugar, and about a half cup of raisens. It's really good!

Does anyone have a recipe for SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP, much like that of Gulliver's, in Chicago? It has both parmesean and mozzerella cheese in it and has to be the best I've had! (And I'm guessing at the spelling of both cheeses!)
